Hi Apple62
Totally get that surgery is not the panacea for all people, and that many will have a recurrence of some symptoms within a few years.
I don't want to look at this through rose tinted glasses. From research I have done, no other option available to relieve the principle issue of constant headaches that are strongly correlated to the fatigue, so I have adopted a positive view on the surgery.
I can barely contemplate how I would feel about life if it doesn't have a significant impact on the symptoms.
I am not the bravest in facing the surgery, and I need to get myself in the right frame of mind just to go through with it.
My thoughts are genuinely with you in managing your condition. 8 months ago, I had never heard of CM. Now I am a lot more humble after listening to others.
Best

Honey, you are going into surgery and I hope you have a positive outcome. My story
is something you don't need. You need some positive outcome stories. I really hope
you have an easy surgery and life returns to normal. Best wishes.

No easy solution to this as your the patient. Won't help yourself to get wound up about it.
Best to embrace it as best way through this for YOU to have an opportunity for better health. And that is worth smiling about.
Best Wishes

Hi Leanne73120
I get this is a hard time for you.
My plan was to ensure that I was busy all weekend as my op was Monday. As it happened a pub meal Sunday lunch with close friends and my lovely wife with a couple of pints was the ideal tonic.
No staring in the mirror telling myself it's for the best and the positive things I tried to tell myself. Just went out to have a good time.
We aren't guinea pigs going through new op, it's been done plenty of times. And there is a pile of evidence on these pages, that leaving the procedure does not help our condition.
Can only share sincere best wishes so next week we can talk recovery.
So book something fun and look to a better future.
